Been done for speeding. Been sent a letter offering three options:
1. Attend a course costing �65 - �125
2. Pay a fixed penalty of �60 and 3 points

Speed cameras cash cows?
Anyone else see major flaws in the conclusions drawn in this article about
the drop in the number of tickets issued?
"Motorists have been hit with speeding tickets worth almost �1billion under
Labour, a report shows.
But receipts have fallen since police were stopped from keeping part of the
money raised fr...

Advantage of V engine over in-line?
Assuming that the engine capacity is the same, is there any advantage of a
V4 engine over an in-line engine? Do V engines run more or less smoothly
than in-line or boxer (horizontally-opposed) engines? I realise that V
engines are often used to reduce the size of engine compartment needed, by
reducing the lengt...

Yet another dangerous car model.
Makes you wonder how many of these dangerous cars are currently still
allowed to be in use in the UK, along with all the others with serious
faults, doesn't it?

Another footway motorist strikes again!
Nowhere is safe from them. Well at least it wasn't a deliberate
ramming this time.
"A 13-year-old boy was saved from injury by his friend when a car
mounted a path in Norfolk, crashed into his bike and failed to stop.
The boy was pushing his bike and walking with a friend in Kenninghall
Road, Banham, when a Fo...

What is the most hated car and why?
